FOREWORD
NE hundred years ago Baltimore — then a robust
miniature of the great City of today — was at-
tacked by a powerful British expeditionary force.
The unequal struggle between America and Great
Britain, generally referred to as the War of 1812, had raged
for two years.
The flower of the British Army and Navy attempted to take
the town. At North Point their land forces were repulsed after
a bloody encounter, and their commander. General Sir Robert
Ross, was killed. Untrained soldiery under gallant leaders
held in check the mvaders, who were seasoned veterans to the
man. At the very gates of the City the British came upon a
line of trenches they dared not assail.
Fort McHenry was bombarded by the naval forces for
twenty-five hours. When the smoke of battle cleared "our flag
was still there." Realizing the hopelessness of capturing Bal-
timore, the British weighed anchor and withdrew, taking away
scores of wounded and a lesson never to be forgotten.
Detained aboard the flag-of-truce ship "Minden," Francis
Scott Key, a young patriot, witnessed the conflict. Inspired by
the thrilling sight, he wrote the words of our National Anthem,
"The Star-Spangled Banner."
The final gun of the attack on Baltimore marked the close
of the last important engagement of the War of 1812. Jack-
son and his brave followers defeated the British at New Orleans
months later, unmindful that peace had been proclaimed days
before.
American independence, so proudly heralded in 1 776, be-
came an actuality with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent.
A century of progress has elapsed. Once more Baltimore is
the stage of a national drama. The National Star-Spangled
Banner Centennial from September 6 to 1 3, I 9 1 4, is to com-
memorate the birth of our National Anthem; the successful de-
fense of Baltimore at North Point and Fort McHenry; the
achievement of real National Independence, and a century of
progress.
That, also, is the purpose of this book.

BALTIMORE AND MARYLAND WERE TO THE
FRONT IN THE WAR OF 1812.
^^ilLLIAM PINKNEY, a Baltimorean, wrote
the declaration of war, which consisted of the
single and explicit statement: "That war be, and
the same is hereby declared to exist between the
United States and Great Britam. " Pmkney was sent in 1806
to England to negotiate a treaty that should settle all disputes
between the two governments. From 1 808 the political rela-
tions between America and Britain foreboded inevitable hostili-
ties at no distant day. Incensed by the seizure of our ships
upon the high seas, the impressment of thousands of American
sailors and other outrages, Pinkney, in 1811, demanded his
recall. Upon his return to America he was made Attorney-
General. On June 18, 1812, after debating for fifteen days.
Congress passed the War Act. President Madison signed it
the same day. The Union was then made up of eighteen
States — the thirteen original, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, South
Carolina, New Hampshire, Virginia, New York, North Caro-
lina and Rhode Island, with Vermont, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Ohio and Louisiana.
Baltimore merchants loaned the Government $3,000,000,
and this, later assumed by the city, became the foundation of
Baltimore's first municipal debt. When war was declared the
general Government was practically bankrupt, with liabilities
amounting to $45,154,000. Congress authorized a war loan
of $1 1,000,000. Baltimore merchants were the first to sub-
scribe. Finding none of this available for her own defense,
the city raised another $600,000.
The first gun of the war was fired by a Maryland man, when
Commodore John Rodgers, a native of Havre de Grace, and

later a resident of Baltimore, aboard his flagship, "President,"
attacked the British frigate "Belvidera," June 23, 1812.
Commodore Rodgers was in command of the North Atlantic
Squadron. Three days after war was declared he received
the news while his ship was lying at New York. Within an
hour he had weighed anchor and put to sea. Coming up with the
"Belvidera" off Nantucket Shoals, Commodore Rodgers with
his own hand pointed and fired the first shot of the war, hulling
the enemy. A gun burst on the "President," injuring her
commander. In the confusion that followed the British vessel
escaped.
A Baltimore man. Captain David Porter, captured the first
British national vessel, the "Alert," whose colors were struck
August 1 3, after an eight-minute engagement with the "Essex."
From the masthead of the "Essex" fluttered a flag bearing
conspicuously the words, "Free Trade and Sailors' Rights. '
Captain Porter left New York a few days after Commodore
Rodgers. Soon after leaving Sandy Hook he captured several
English merchant vessels, making trophy bonfires out of most
of them. One night, a little later, he chased a fleet of British
transports convoyed by a frigate and bomb vessel. Without
attracting the attention of the rest of the fleet, the "Essex"
captured one of the transports, with one hundred and fifty men.
Later in the war Commodore Porter made one of the most
remarkable cruises on record.
Manned by a Chesapeake crew, the "Constitution," better
known as "Old Ironsides," captured the first and thiid British
frigates taken in the war. On July I 2, the "Constitution," with
a new crew, sailed from Annapolis, Maryland. In thirty min-
utes, August 19, she destroyed the famous "Guerriere," taken
from Napoleon by Lord Nelson at the Battle of the Nile, in
I 798. After a fierce fight, December 29, the same crew took
the frigate "Java," with the outgoing Governor of Bombay and
all his staff.

Commodore Stephen Decatur, Jr., a native of Berlin, Mary-
land, in command of the "United States," captured the second
British frigate, the "Macedonian," October 25, after a con-
flict that lasted two hours. Decatur's subsequent career added
luster to his renown as the conqueror of the "Macedonian."
From Maryland, and chiefly from Baltimore, more officers,
ships and seamen went out than from any other State. Of the
two hundred and forty officers of the American Navy, Mary-
land furnished forty-six. This was more than twice the
number given by any one State, except Virginia, which sup-
plied forty-two officers.
Sixty-one privateers were sent out from Baltimore, while the
number from Maryland totaled more than one hundred. New
York equipped fifty-five, Salem forty, Boston thirty-two,
Philadelphia fourteen, and nine other ports combined about
thirty-eight. "Baltimore Clippers," world famous for their
speed, manned by daring crews, struck blow after blow at the
commerce of Great Britain. This caused the English press to
refer to this city as "a nest of pirates."
Baltimore privateers captured five hundred and twenty-five
vessels, or nearly one-third of all the prizes taken in the war.
Aboard Government vessels and privateers, Baltimore men
captured five hundred and seventy-five British ships. The
activities of Baltimore privateers caused a loss of $16,000,000
to the British.
The most famous privateersman was Captain Thomas Boyle,
of Baltimore. First on the "Comet," and later on the
"Chasseur," known as the "Pride of Baltimore," he made a
number of brilliant captures and had hair-breadth escapes.
With the "Comet" he seized twenty-nine vessels. The
"Chasseur" is said to have lowered the colors of fifty-one British
ships.
Commodore Joshua Barney, commanding the "Rossie,"
accompanied by six other privateers, sailed from Baltimore in

July, 1812. After forty-five days his captures totaled fifteen
vessels, valued at $1 ,289,000. When he returned to Baltimore
in November this had been increased to $1,500,000, repre-
senting 3,689 tons of shipping. He took two hundred and
seventeen prisoners. Another rich capture v/as that of eight
vessels made by the "Rolla," Captain Dooley. The vessels
and cargoes were valued at $2,000,000. To the "Dash," of
Baltimore, belongs the credit for the first capture made by a
privateer. She took the British schooner "Whiting," with
dispatches from Great Britain to the United States, in Hamp-
ton Roads July 10, 1812. The fame of Baltimore ships was
spread by the exploits of Captains Coggeshall, Miller, Moon,
Murphy, Stafford and others.
The first news of peace was brought by a Baltimorean,
Christopher Hughes, Jr., who was Secretary to the Commission
at Ghent. As soon as the treaty was signed, December 24,
1814, he sailed direct for the Chesapeake and landed at An-
napolis. He was the first to bring the good news to Wash-
ington, arriving there before the official messengers.

V///n) through the streets went the cry, "The enemy is
at our door!" On the Court House green three
cannon boomed. With martial tread and beating drums pa-
triots spread the alarm. From the houses came men of all
classes, determined to protect their kin and their homes.
At the mouth of the Patapsco, off North Point, twelve
miles from the city, fifty ships flying the British colors were
silhouetted agamst the eastern skies. Nine thousand strong,
the invaders, representing the flower of the English Army and
Navy, gazed towards the city they had termed "a nest of
pirates."
Lining the decks of this fleet were part of Wellington's "In-
vincibles," and veterans of Nelson's victories, the men who had
humbled the great Napoleon. Fresh from the Battle of
Bladensburg, encouraged by the capture and burning of Wash-
ington, emboldened by their raids along the Chesapeake, they
impatiently awaited the loosening of the leash.
Pick and shovel made the dirt fly along fortifications around
the town. To the east, in a line more than a mile in length,
men, women and children toiled. Hampstead Hill (Patterson
Park) was selected as headquarters by the commander-in-chief.
General Samuel Smith, a Revolutionary hero. Behind these
bulwarks he placed ten thousand troops, largely Baltimore
militia, and one hundred cannon were mounted.
On the north side of the harbor, opposite Fort McHenry,
Commodore Rodgers planted batteries at the Lazaretto. One

thousand volunteers and regulars garrisoned Fort McHenry.
Major George Armistead, in command, knew that the magazine
was not bomb-proof, but those under him were ignorant of the
fact. To the rear of the fort along the shores of the Patapsco
were two redoubts — a six-gun battery under Sailing Master
Webster, and Fort Covington under Lieutenant Newcomb.
Anticipating the landing of the enemy. General Smith sent
General Strieker with 1 700 men to harass the British advance
up Patapsco Neck. Late Sunday afternoon this body marched
out the Philadelphia Road to Long-Log Lane (now North
Point Road), leaving behind a cloud of dust. At eight o'clock
that evening they paused. The defenders chose the ground
well, with the right resting on Bear Creek and the left near
Bread and Cheese Creek; then they lay on the ground to await
the coming of dawn and the British.
General Strieker spent the night in the old Methodist Meet-
ing House, still standing on the North Point Road, near Bread
and Cheese Creek. His force was composed of the Fifth,
Sixth, Twenty-seventh, Thirty-ninth and Fifty-first Regiments.
These were made up of separate companies, some in uniform
and others in their citizen's clothes. In the haste and con-
fusion of the day many still wore their silk hats. Incorporated
in these regiments was one company each from York, Han-
over and Marietta, Pennsylvania, and one from Hagerstown,
Maryland. All the rest were from Baltimore.
While the opposing forces slept that night from a cloudless
sky the full moon shone brightly, its beams illuminating a huge
flag flying over Fort McHenry. Fifteen stripes, alternate red
and white, the Union of fifteen stars, white in a blue field, it
measured 36 by 29 feet. The flag was made by Mrs. Mary
Young Pickersgill, who was assisted by her two nieces.
Mrs. Pickersgill had won no little fame as a designer of
ship's colors, pennants, etc. Commodore Barney, with the

approval of General Strieker and General McDonald, had
placed the order for the flag. At her little home, "House No.
60 Albemarle Street, Old Town," (which still stands) she
had cut the colored sections. Owing to its dimensions the flag,
in pieces, had been taken to a near-by brewery and there
stretched and sewed together in a large room.
Before the first streaks of dawn appeared on the twelfth, the
British were astir. From their transports boat after boat car-
ried human freight to North Point — where now stands Fort
Howard. Advancing into the marshes skirting the shore, they
eagerly sought the shelter afforded by high reeds.
The veterans crawled cautiously to higher ground and
assembled in the woods nearby. In command of the land forces
was General Sir Robert Ross, a soldier of distinction, who had
served in Holland, Egypt and the Peninsula. At his side rode
the ranking naval officer, Rear-Admiral Cockburn, whose lust
for booty had earned the hatred of every American. Admiral
Sir Alexander Cockrane, commander-in-chief of the British
forces, remained aboard his ship.
Four miles up Patapsco Neck proceeded this force. Gen-
eral Ross, Admiral Cockburn and six other officers stopped at
the home of Robert Gorsuch, a farmer, and ordered him to pre-
pare breakfast. As each dish was placed before his unwel-
come guests, Gorsuch was compelled to taste the food. The
unwilling host asked General Ross if he would return for
supper. He was told, "No, I shall eat my supper in Balti-
more, or in hell."
While the British officers were laughing at this remark the
firing of musketry was heard. Dashing from the house, they
mounted their horses and galloped to the scene of action. They
emerged from a piece of woods about a mile distant and saw
engaged the advance guards of their forces and a small party
of Americans.

General Ross turned to Admiral Cockburn and said, "I'll
bring up a column." As his horse wheeled a ball pierced the
General's arm and chest. He fell — a monument marks the
spot. Admiral Cockburn and others placed him on a horse
and quickly sought the woods. A messenger was dispatched
for a horse and cart, and in this crude vehicle the wounded
officer was placed on blankets.
As he was carried to the rear General Ross ordered that he
be covered lest he be recognized by the troops. Beneath a
huge poplar (a new stone church marks the place), opposite
the Gorsuch farmhouse, a halt was made. Commendmg his
wife and family to the protection of the government he had
served so well. General Ross died in the arms of his favorite
aide. Sir Duncan M'Dougall.
Tradition has it that the British commander was shot by two
young riflemen, Daniel Wells and Henry C. McComas. In
the skirmish that followed both were killed. They were
buried in a vault in Aisquith Square (Gay, Aisquith and
Monument Streets), over which a monument was erected Sep-
tember 12, 1858.
On the fall of Ross the command of the British troops de-
volved upon Colonel Brooke, of the Forty-fourth Regiment.
Pushing forward, the British artillery was soon engaged in a
duel with the American field-pieces. The invading army was
ordered to lie down and partake of the refreshments afforded
by their haversacks and canteens.
Drawn up behind a strong paling (known as Dr. Houck's
acre), the American yeomen awaited the approach of the Eng-
lish veterans. Both forces suffered from the intense heat.
In the early afternoon the Battle of North Point be?an. A
roar of musketry opened out. The British advancing in their
customary fashion, in close order, attempted to take the Ameri-
can position by a rush. Into their midst was poured a hail-

storm of shot, slugs, nails and scrap iron. The defenders were
short of ammunition and their weapons were mostly of anti-
quated type.
Several flank movements were attempted by the attacking
body. General Strieker, comprehending these movements, met
each one sturdily. The armies swayed back and forth, with
victory coquetting first with one and then with the other. Clos-
ing in, a hand-to-hand struggle followed. The American
lines, outnumbered, began to waver, and w^ere ordered to retire.
Instead of administering a slight check to the enemy, they had
stopped the advance with a bloody shock.
In this struggle, which lasted an hour and a half, the British
lost 600 men killed and wounded, and the Americans 150.
Leaving a trail of blood behind. General Strieker's army, in
good order, made its way back to Worthington's Mill, near
Hampstead Hill. Here he was joined by General Winder,
with the Virginia Brigade and U. S. Dragoons.
A heavy rain fell and the weary soldiers were drenched
before they reached shelter. Worn by the march of the day
previous, a night of nervous anticipation, the battle and the
retreat, they sought such rest as they could get.
The battlefield was a sickening sight. Scattered about were
the bodies of the slain, mingled with the wounded. Over the
sodden fields the British searched, picking out their men. The
dead were ignored and the injured carried to the old meeting
house, near Bread and Cheese Creek.
After their own men had been cared for, the invaders turned
their attention to the American injured. In the old meeting
house British surgeons worked over friend and foe. The build-
ing vibrated with the groans of the wounded and dying. Be-
neath the same roof Colonel Brooke sought shelter from the
torrents that poured from the heavens.
Thirsty for revenge, the British commanders ordered their
men forward at daybreak. From beneath makeshift tents,

through which the water had dripped, w^eary and cramped, they
responded to the call to arms. The march was resumed and
unopposed they made their way towards the city. At noon
they halted near Orangeville.
Colonel Brooke and Admiral Cockburn reconnoitered. De-
termining to attack the American forces, the commanders dis-
patched an officer to the fleet with a request that Admiral
Cockrane make a diversion on the water front. Before sun-
down the messenger returned. He bore an order, which read,
"You are on no account to attack the enemy, unless positively
certain of success."
Admiral Cockburn glanced at the message. He insisted on
an attack. Colonel Brooke summoned a council of war, which
the naval officer refused to attend. The deliberations lasted
until midnight, when the majority of the officers decided upon
a retreat, and an hour and a half later the British army with-
drew from the gates of the city, leaving bright campfires as a
ruse.
The naval forces were not idle. On the morning of the
thirteenth, the bomb and rocket vessels began to bombard Fore
McHenry and the other water defenses. Sixteen heavy ship3
hurled bombs, rockets and solid shot. The British were pre-
vented from attempting to pass into the basin by a line of
sunken hulks between Fort McHenry and the Lazaretto.
Major Armistead opened the batteries of Fort McHenry
upon them, and kept up a brisk fire for some time with his
guns and mortars, when, to his chagrin, he found that the mis-
siles fell short. The British ships were lying about two and a
half miles off the fort — near the present Fort Carroll. The
rarrison was exposed to a shower of shells for several hours.
One of the 24-pounders in the southwest bastion of the fort
was dismounted by an exploding bomb. Judge (Captain)
Joseph H. Nicholson, with a company of volunteer artillerists,

was in charge of this part of the works. The explosion killed
Second Lieutenant Claggett and wounded several others. The
wife of one of the men, while administering to the injured, was
killed.
Admiral Cockrane observed the confusion and ordered three
of his bomb-vessels to move up nearer the fort. Major
Armistead quickly took advantage of this. He ordered a gen-
eral fire from every part of the fort. Within half an hour
the British were driven back to their old anchorage. One ves-
sel, the "Erebus," was saved from destruction by a division of
small boats towing her beyond the range of Armistead's guns.
In the rear of the British men-o'-war was the cartel ship
"Minden." Aboard this vessel were Francis Scott Key, a
young lawyer, soldier and poet; his friend. Dr. William Beanes,
of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and Colonel Skinner, com-
mander of the ship. Dr. Beanes had been made prisoner by
the British after they had withdrawn from the burning of
Washington.
The conduct of several stragglers of the invading army
caused the venerable physician to order their detention. Learn-
ing of this some of the British officers, by way of retaliation,
brought about his arrest. He was carried aboard a British
ship. The news that Dr. Beanes was a prisoner spread
rapidly.
One of his friends went to the home of Francis Scott Key,
at Georgetown, and requested the young lawyer to go with a
fiag-of-truce and ask for the release of the physician. Presi-
dent Madison gave his consent and orders were issued that the
"Minden," used by the United States Government for the
transfer of prisoners, be made ready.
The "Minden" was then lying at Baltimore. Key came to
this city and went aboard her. She came up with the British
fleet in the lower Chesapeake. Key's mission was made

known. General Ross and Admiral Cockburn, in strong terms,
spoke against the release of Dr. Beanes. After being in-
formed of his many kind acts toward British officers who had
been wounded, they relented.
Having decided to attack Baltimore, they detained the
Americans. The fleet headed up the Chesapeake. As the
vessels entered the Patapsco, Key, Dr. Beanes and Colonel
Skinner was transferred from the British ship to the "Minden."
A guard of British marines were sent aboard the flag-of-truce
ship to prevent the patriots from going ashore. The "Minden"
was anchored north of the present ship channel, some distance
from what is now Dundalk, Baltimore County.
From the decks of the "Minden" Key and his companions
watched the bombardment. As night fell the fury of the attack
increased. At midnight 1250 picked men were sent from the
fleet in barges, with scaling ladders and other implements for
storming the fort. Under the cover of darkness they passed to
the south and approached Fort Covington and Webster's six-
gun battery.
For the purpose of examining the shores they threw up
rockets. This gave the alarm. A large hay stack was set
afire by the Americans. As its glow revealed the British boats,
Fort McHenry and the two redoubts opened a terrific fire. The
concussion was tremendous. The houses in the city were shaken
to their foundations.
Webster and his men worked gallantly, and to them Major
Armistead said he was "persuaded the country was much in-
debted for the final repulse of the enemy." 1 wo vessels were
sunk and a number of the attacking force were killed. Back to
their ships went the British. The bombardment of the fort
lasted until seven o'clock in the morning. Fighteen hundred
shells were thrown by the attacking force. 7 he total Ameri-
can loss was four killed and twenty-four wounded.

During the night Ke}^ and his friends paced the deck of the ,;
"Minden." To these men the spectacle was one of horror.
As shell after shell went screaming skyward towards the fort
Key's anxiety grew. During an intermission in the firing he was
in doubt as to the safety of the fort. On the back of a letter
he began to write.
The first blush of day tinged the skies. Gazing towards the
fort Key beheld the Stars and Stripes floating triumphantly
above the ramparts. His joy was without bounds. Into his
brain leaped the words of "The Star-Spangled Banner." As
the sun rose and the British gave up in despair he continued to
make notes.
The men-o'-war fell back. Key and his companions were
permitted to go ashore. In a small boat with Dr. Beanes,
Colonel Skinner and an oarsman. Key finished his writing.
He proceeded into the city and came to Fountain Inn, which
stood on Light Street, near Orange Alley, now German Street.
That night he completed the poem destined to become the
American National Anthem.
In the morning he took the verses to his brother-in-law.
Judge Nicholson. The words were found to fit perfectly the
then popular melody, "Anacreon in Heaven." Carrying the
song to the printing office of Benjamin Edes (Baltimore and
Gay Streets), then serving as captain of the Twenty-seventh
Regiment, copies of it were ordered. Samuel Sands, an ap-
prentice, set the type and printed it.
That evening it was sung in the taverns. Bonfires were lit
in the streets and the citizens of Baltimore made merry, while
the British with their dead commander and scores of wounded
were on the Chesapeake, outward bound.

FRANCIS SCOTT KEY
tes-pS^^gg^^ED OFFICIAL PROGRAMME cE^^lirfu)
FRANCIS SCOTT KEY.
I HE author of our national anthem, "The Star-
ts Spangled Banner," was born on his father's
estate, "Terra Rubra," Maryland. The date
f^^^^^^^ of his birth is in dispute. It is given as August 1 ,
1779, and August 9, 1780.
"Terra Rubra" was at that time in Frederick County, but
the locality now forms part of Carroll County. There in the
shadow of the Catoctin Mountain, amid fertile valleys, Francis
Scott Key was reared.
He was the son of John Ross Key, who served with dis-
tinction as an officer m the Continental Army, and Ann Phoebe
Dagworthy Charlton Key. General and Mrs. Key had another
child, Ann Arnold Key, who married her brother's chum,
Roger Brooke Taney, Secretary of the Treasury under Presi-
dent Jackson and later Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court.
From the peaceful shades of "Terra Rubra" young Key was
sent to St. John's College, Annapolis. The quaint town,
around which centered the brilliant life of the Capital of the
State, was a wonderful change for the impressionable boy. Dr.
Upton Scott, his father's and uncle's neighbor in Frederick
County, had built historic Carvel House, on Shipwright Street,
and here the boy lived, with frequent visits to his grandfather,
Francis Key, at his estate, "Belvoir," on the Severn River.
Graduating with high honors, Francis Scott Key, with his
fellow-student, Roger Brooke Taney, read law in the office
of Jeremiah Townley Chase. Meantime he fell in love with
Mary Tayloe Lloyd, daughter of Edward Lloyd IV of
"Wye House," Talbot County.
They were married at Annapolis by Rev. Ralph Higgin-
botham, rector of St. Anne's Parish. Like the date of his
birth, there is a discrepancy of a year in the two dates men-

tioned for this event. It is usually given as occurring in 1802.
In May, 1855, Mrs. Mary Tayloe Key, the widow, applied
to the Pension Office at Washington for bounty land on account
of her husband's service in the War of 1812, and stated under
oath that she was married to F. S. Key at Annapolis, Mary-
land, January 19, 1801. Eleven children were born of this
marriage.
The year of his marriage Francis Scott Key began practic-
ing law in Frederick County. Later he removed to George-
town, D. C, where he formed an association in the practice
with his uncle, Philip Barton Key. He was three times ap-
pointed United States District Attorney for the District of
Columbia, which office he held from 1833 to 1841.
Key was a devout Christian. In the Sunday School he taught
a Bible class of young men for many years. He was one of
the vestrymen of St. John's Episcopal Church, Georgtown. The
best memorial bearing tribute to his Christianity is found in the
lines of the hymn he composed, "Lord, With Glowing Heart
I'd Praise Thee."
He wrote many poems, being also a contributor to the same
periodical for which Edgar Allan Poe wrote. His holidays
he spent at "Terra Rubra." In that vicinity he was regarded
as a spendthrift. He was careless in dress, but of a fine, free,
impulsive nature, generous to a fault. An expression often
heard was, "Farmer Key spent all the money that Lawyer
Key made."
In the winter of 1843, while visiting his daughter, Mrs.
Charles Howard, in Baltimore, Key was stricken with pneu-
monia, and died January 1 1 . Mrs. Howard's home was on
the corner of Mount Vernon Place and Washington Place,
where the Mount Vernon Methodist Episcopal Church now
stands. He was buried in the Howard vault in St. Paul's
Cemetery, Lombard Street and Fremont Avenue. The re-
mains were later taken to Frederick and interred in Mount
Olivet Cemetery.

flag was still there; 0! say. does that star - spangled ban - ner still
On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mist of the deep.
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes.
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
N ow it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam.
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream;
'Tis the star-spangled banner. Oh! long may it wave.
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion.
A home and a country shall leave us no more!
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution ;
No refuge can save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave.
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave.
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brav*.
Oh! thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home; and the war's desolation:
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the pow'r that hath made and preserved us a natic
Then, conquer we must, when our cause it is just.
And this be our motto, "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave.
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.

FLAG THAT FLOATtD OVER FORT McHtNRY IN 1814
This banner, the largest battle Has; in existence, measures
36 by 29 feet. It was made by Mrs. Mary Young Pickersgill
and her two nieces. The material was cut at Mrs. Pickersgill's
home, "No. 60 Albemarle Street, Old Town" (Pratt and
Albemarle Streets, Baltimore), and carried to a nearby brew-
ery, where it was sewed together. During the bombardment
it was pierced by a number of shots. Recently the flag was
restored at the National Museum, Washington, D. C, where it
is considered one of the most precious possessions of that insti-
tution.

U. S. S. CONSTELLATION
Launched at Baltimore, September 7, 1 797, this frigate
is the oldest vessel in active service in the United States Navy.
On February 9, 1 799, off Basse Terre, after a fierce fight, the
"Constellation" captured the French frigate "L'Insurgente" ;
in 1 802 she rendered valuable service during the war with
Tripoli; bottled up in Norfolk harbor during the War of
1812, the vessel prevented the British from capturing the water
defenses in that vicinity; during the Civil War she was sta-
tioned in the Mediterranean to protect American commerce
from privateers ; from 1871 to 1888 and from 1890 to 1893,
the "Constellation" was used to take the midshipmen from the
United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland, on their
annual cruise; on May 22, 1894, she arrived at Newport,
Rhode Island, where she was assigned to do duty as a receiv-
ing ship; in 1914 Congress appropriated $50,000 to repair
her and ordered that she be stationed at Baltimore during the
National Star-Spangled Banner Centennial Celebration.

or unnatural is largely
BALTIMORE AND THE PANAMA CANAL
The Panama Canal ^^ilThii^^mendous influence upon
Baltimore.
Why?
Almost every page of this book contributes to the answer. ,
Baltimore, to begin with, is on an almost d.rec. me wh
the west coast of South America, and ,s nearer the Canal than
any other of the large cities of the Atlantic Coast
These important facts are very comprehensively shown on
the accompanying map.
With that rugged barrier, the Isthmus of Panama, no longer
barring the way. the great west coast opens up untold and
incalculable opportunities for commerce.
But why Baltimore)
Because trade, like almost everything, follows the course
of least resistance. It traverses natur ' ' ' -' —
the thing that makes a Ian
geographical position.
Baltimore's position is splendid.
Because of this, one cannot evade the conclusion that the
Canal will have a tremendous influence upon this City, and
that the beneficial effect will be communicated to the new field
opened up — that vast territory which is just now put in direct
touch with Baltimore. In other words, there will be reciprocity.
South American trade will come to Baltimore and be carried
through Baltimore, because it will benefit those who take ad-
vantage of the opportunity the City offers. Baltimore does not
expect people to bring their business here for its enrichment.
The point is, they benefit and enrich themselves by so doing.
Look at the situation.
The Baltimore Book is laden with facts that bear out
the assumption that Baltimore is a natural trade route from
Panama and is destined to become a great distributing depot
for transcanal trade. Lower freight rales than enjoyed by any
other city of the Atlantic Coast (as shown on pages 76. 77,
78, 79 and 80 of this book) will draw merchandise here from
an extensive area of (he United Stales, and just here an im-
portant combination is effected.
Low freight rates, a shorter land and sea distance. Hence
the natural lane — the course of least resistance. No obstacles
in the guise of excessive rales to or from the western and north-
western seclions of the United Slates, and a short voyage to
the Canal.
Isn't that an advantageous combination?
But there are many other considerations, all arguments in
Its splendid harbor. Covered wharves, from which ships
lying in deep water alongside may be loaded; devices for the
rapid handling of bulk cargoes, including coal.
Three great trunk line railway systems connect Baltimore
with the rich mining and agricultural regions of the West.
Baltimore lies nearer these regions, let it be repeated, than any
other large city of the Atlantic Coast.
Then there will be always return cargoes for ships — a most
important consideration.
The vessel that comes here with the forest products of the
North Pacific Coast, fruits or vegetables from California, bulk
commodities from Central or South America, will go forth
again freighted with coal, manufactured products of iron and
steel, machinery, paints and mixed merchandise, for Baltimore
is very near the producing regions of these commodities.
Central and South American countries require railroad
equipment. Their agricultural and industrial development de-
pends upon such. These countries want machinery of all sorts,
clothing, hats, etc., and Baltimore stands ready to supply such
needs, for it is in the manufacture of these articles that it now
occupies a commanding position.
Truly, there is no need for apprehension concerning return
cargoes.
With great railroad piers, open and covered; with storage
warehouses; with a great Municipal pier system, which is being
extended; with shorter rail haul to Northern and Western cities
and manufacturing districts than is enjoyed by other Atlantic
ports; with the activities of the City Administration earnestly
employed in the development of these facilities; with these and
the multiplicity of other advantages set forth in The Baltimore
Book, who can successfully dispute that the Canal will have
a tremendous influence upon the future of this City?

EXPLANATORY
I HIS book is written in response to the demand
for accurate information concerning Baltimore, its
resources, its general development, and its munici-
pal activities.
The Baltimore Book is published by the Municipality. It
has no private purpose to serve. It deals primarily with the
Baltimore of TODAY.
Baltimore reveres her traditions, is proud of her history,
glories in her honored past, but Baltimore, rich in all these
priceless blessings, has been very practical and has given much
thought, much aggressive energy, to the solution of the material
problems that confront her as an important member of the
Great Family of American Municipalities.
What Baltimore is and what Baltimore is doing are herein
)resented as eloquent and convincing facts. The case is rested
without argument.
The development of Baltimore along industrial, commercial,
,'overnmental, financial and all civic lines, during recent years,
las been extraordinary. Imagination plays no part in that
. tatement.
Baltimore, as far as the memory of man runneth, has always
i -een big. It started with all the natural prerequisites of a great
( ity. But Baltimore is not only big. It is bigger than ever;
: ot only bigger, but better. This is not a vain boast. A few
•■ ities are bigger than Baltimore ; find a better one. Baltimore
i as been bountifully endowed by nature, and nature Is being
: ssisted by those most skilled In civic development. The fol-
I )wing pages will tell how. That is the STORY.
CITY GOVERNMENT OF BALTIMORE
WHAT IT IS DOING
A resume of great projects under way: The $23,000,000 Sewerage
System; Repaying the City; Civic Centre; Colossal Municipal
Docks; Factory Site Commission; Splendid Parks; Sanitary Regu-
lations; Health, Fire and Police Departments; Public Schools;
Free Baths, etc.
sKMi^^S^^ H E Municipal Government of Baltimore is alert,
irv^ft^^ creative and constructive. It is not sufficient to
t\l(f^Bffi5li^ say that the administration is in sympathy w^ith
[^^^^^ the great forward movement in this City. It
is an inspiring part of the movement. Loyally supported and
encouraged by citizens in all walks of life, it is engaged in a
systematic scheme of modernization and beautification, and is
pursuing a masterful constructive policy. It is a policy that
does not balk at obstacles. An obstacle is something to be
overcome; that's all.
Since 1 904, when the heart of Baltimore was burned out,
when smoldering ashes and hideous debris stretched over 1 40
acres, Baltimore has been building, and building big. The
great disaster was turned into opportunity. The loss, approxi-
mately $125,000,000, was a staggering blow. No effort is
made to minimize this fact, but it was a blow that awoke the
fighting spirit. It was not a knockout.
At this crisis, what did the City Government do?
)) TM& t3.AiyriMOi^e^ book
It refused all outside aid; declined it courteously and with
grateful thanks, for stricken Baltimore was very grateful. It
wasn't false pride that impelled Robert M. McLane, then
Mayor, to take this stand. He voiced the sentiment of the
community when he notified the world that Baltimore would
take care of its own, and would rebuild through its own effort.
Before he could get this on the wires $60,000 had actually
been received, and "draw on us" telegrams brought the amount
up to $200,000. Every cent went back, but the generous
sentiment which prompted the givers will always be treasured.
The ^vhole world seemed eager to hasten to the aid of Balti-
more. Hundreds of sympathetic messages were received.
The City had just sold its interest in the Western Maryland
Railroad for $8,751,000. Upward of $4,500,000 of this
fund was immediately used for public improvements and the
rehabilitation of the burned area.
A Burnt District Commission was created. It widened
streets; it reduced grades. Baltimoreans built; they built wisely
and built well. Old picturesque Baltimore had been partly
wiped out by the fire, but before the flames were extinguished
at one end of the destroyed district a new Baltimore was spring-
ing up at the other. Those who saw the City in the throes of
devastation wonder at the metamorphosis presented today. It
is simply marvelous. Following the work of the Burnt District
Commission other millions were spent according to a definite
plan of City development. So much for the past.
What is the City Government doing today?
It is building the finest sanitary Sewerage system in the
world, and will expend about $23,000,000 for this purpose.
The system is almost completed.
It has spent $6, 1 61 ,000 on its magnificent Municipal docks,
and has available $5,000,000 more for the enlargement of the
system, which includes a recreation pier.
rH& B.ALTIIMOR^Er BOOK
It IS constructing a broad street (Key Highway) paralleling
the south side of the harbor for several miles.
It is grappling the paving problem, and a Commission is now
engaged in a general repaving plan for the entire City. The
Commission has a working capital of $5,000,000. This will
be increased by means of the paving tax to $10,000,000,
To date 54 miles have been repaved and 10 miles are under
contract. The highways are being improved under a general
plan, and it is the aim of the administration to make Balti-
more second to none in this particular branch of civic develop-
ment. The latest standard specifications are followed and four
standard pavements, namely. Granite Block, Vitrified Block,
Sheet Asphalt and Wood Block, are being used.
Aside from the above-mentioned $10,000,000, an addi-
tional $4,500,000 are being spent on street improvement in
the "Annex" (northern and western extremities).
Forty-seven miles (based upon a width of 30 feet between
curbs) have been paved in this particular section since 1906.
These streets, with those within the older parts of the City re-
paved in accordance with the general plan of 1910 referred to,
total 1 0 1 miles paved or repaved within recent years.
And the ^vork is still being pushed forward with great
energy.
There is pending a loan of $1,000,000 for the construction
and improvement of Police Department buildings.
For the enlargement of Baltimore's water supply, $5,000,000
is available.
A high-pressure water pipe line through the business section
was completed in 1912 at a cost of $1,000,000. This is a
very important addition to Baltimore's fire-fighting equipment,
and materially reduces the cost of fire insurance.

THifr t3/AJLriMC)RH L^QOK
The sum of $340,000 was expended in 1911 for additional
apparatus and buildings for the Fire Department, exclusive of
the sum appropriated annually for its maintenance.
By means of an electric conduit system, overhead telephone,
telegraph and electric wires have been placed underground;
$3,000,000 have been spent for this purpose and $2,000,000
more are available for a contmuation of the work.
There are hundreds of other things which the City Govern-
ment is doing. In matters of municipal routine it is kept right
to the notch. Departments are "keyed up" as are those of
great private enterprises, and the whole organization is working
in systematic harmony. Baltimore is not only enjoying a busi-
ness administration, but a progressive business administration.
The following pages will describe concisely some of the
projects in which it is engaged.

A GREAT SEWERAGE SYSTEM
Baltimore will spend $23,000,000 on its Sewerage System.
The work was begun in 1905 and will be completed by 1916.
Sections in various parts of the City are already in operation,
and when it is entirely finished the City will have the most
modern plant in the world. The system represents the most
advanced ideas in the solution of this great Municipal problem.
It is impossible to realize the magnitude of the work or the
diversified engmeermg problems that are being solved every day
unless one takes the time to visit in person some of the construc-
tion work being carried on in various parts of the City. The
work is most interesting because of its complications.
The requirement of the Legislative Act, that all sewage must
be purified before being discharged, made it necessary to keep
the storm-water separate from the sanitary sewage, allowing the
former to discharge through its own system of drains into the
nearest natural outlet. The sanitary sewage is carried to the
disposal plant and purified. The sewage, by bacterial treat-
ment, becomes 95 per cent. pure.
Two-thirds of the sanitary sewage of the City will flow by
gravity to the disposal plant on Back River, about six miles
from Baltimore. The other third will be pumped through huge
iron force-mains to the outfall sewer, an elevation of 72 feet,
from which point it also will flo^\^ by gravity to the disposal
plant. The pumping station building is now completed and
equipped with three engines, each having a pumping capacity
of 27,500,000 gallons a day. The station will house five of
these enormous pumps, the additional two to be installed later.
The difficulties of the work are doubled because of the
necessity of constructing two systems of sewers — sanitary and
storm-water — which cross and recross each other in thousands
of places. In some cases two large sewers of the different
systems come together on the same level, which requires the
15
THfT R.AI.TIMORB 300K
siphoning of one beneath the other. In one instance this re-
sulted in the construction of one of the largest siphons in the
world.
The purified sewage, discharged from the disposal plant, in
flowing to its outlet operates turbines. These run dynamos,
which produce current for lighting the plant at practically no
cost.

BALTIMORE'S WATER SUPPLY
The City of Baltimore has about $15,000,000 invested in
its water works system, and an additional $5,000,000 was
recently voted for an impoundmg and storage reservoir and
filtration works, with the necessary connecting conduits and
tunnels. Many of these are now in course of construction,
and it is hoped that the entire work will be completed during
the year 1915.
Upon the completion of the new plant, the entire supply
of the City will be taken from the Gunpowder River, which
has an average daily flow of 270,000,000 gallons. The
Jones Falls watershed which is used at the present time to
supply part of the City's water, will be abandoned, although
it will be possible to use the water from this source in case
of an emergency.
When the improvements, which are now well under way,
are completed, Baltimore will have one of the finest water
supplies of any city in the United States. A new impounding
reservoir will not only give an ample supply, but a filtration
plant will purify this water so that in quality it will equal that
of any city in the Vv^orld.
The impounding reservoir, now being built at Loch Raven,
on the Gunpowder River, will have a capacity of about
2,000,000,000 gallons. The impounding reservoir on the
Jones Falls Supply, known as Lake Roland, has a capacity
of 400,000,000 gallons.
There are seven storage reservoirs, most of them within the
City limits, with a total storage capacity of 1,488,875,000
gallons. There are also two standpipes, each with a capacity
of 300,000 gallons. The Water Department's income is de-
rived from water rents.

CIVIC CENTER — JONES FALLS AND KEY
HIGHWAYS
HOSE charged with the administration of the
1^ City Government have given much thought to
the future. What is done is done on a large
[0^^^=:^::^] scale. Every succeedmg day finds the City a
bigger, better, busier Baltimore, and improvements are made
with a comprehensive idea of the demands of the future. They
are, as nearly as human calculation can make them, for all
time.
The development now going on is in accordance with a pre-
conceived plan of city building. Certain details are in charge
of a Commission on City Plan. One of the most important
features in the City betterment plan was the recent covering
of the stream (Jones Falls) which formerly flowed in an open
channel through the center of the City. The flow is now
through three concrete tubes, consisting in part, of the largest
drainage tunnel in the world.
The top of these conduits and tunnel is now a highway of
a minimum width of 75 feet. This drive will provide a direct
highway on an easy grade running diagonally across the City
from the docks to the railroad terminals. This great improve-
ment is a part of an elaborate and connected scheme of future
development, the main feature of which is a Civic Center to
the east of the City Hall. To the west, forming a part of the
general plan, are the Postoifice and Baltimore's three-million-
dollar Courthouse.
Another project of importance in which the City is now
engaged is the construction of Key Highway, a wide thorough-
fare extending from Light street, along or very near the water-
front, to Fort McHenry — a distance of several miles.

This highway, named for Francis Scott Key, author of
"The Star-Spangled Banner," will open up a splendid avenue
of approach to the southern side of Baltimore's extensive harbor.
A system of railroad tracks and switches, which are to be in-
stalled, will place all plants, piers, etc., in direct touch with
railroad systems.

BALTIMORE'S MUNICIPAL DOCKS
The Municipal docks of Baltimore are not mere ornaments.
They are not solely colossal specimens of engineering skill.
They are for use. When the City put acres of land under
water and spent its millions, its object was, and is, to provide
the best maritime terminals that could be built. These docks
may be leased by any responsible parties for 36 cents a square
foot per year. Those who have not seen the great marine
stations have little idea of their magnitude, and it is important
to remember that they are not a private monopoly, and are not
controlled by private parties to selfish ends. The City of Balti-
more OWNS them and throws them open to the commerce of
the world. Those who would enter the shipping business here
have the first and most vexatious problem, namely, terminal
facilities, solved In advance. Magnificent docks are available.
Prior to the fire of 1904 the City owned little wharf
property of importance. The fire made it possible to acquire
all of the burned district fronting on the harbor (about 4,000
lineal feet). The City purchased the property, removed all
buildings, streets, etc., and laid cut a system of public wharves
and docks along Pratt street. These are situated In the upper
harbor and are Intended for the coastwise and bay trade. The
transatlantic steamers, at present, find ample accommodations
at the railroad piers in the lower harbor.
Pier 4, at the foot of Market Place, is 1 50 feet wide.
Along Market Place the City has erected three handsome,
commodious buildings, a retail market, a fish market, a whole-
sale market, all within a stone's throw of Pier 4, which Is set
apart for trie use of the market boats.
A two-story recreation pier at the foot of Broadway was
completed early in 1914. The lower floor of this structure is
to be used for commercial purposes ; the upper section for a
recreation center.

MUNICIPAL FACTORY SITE COMMISSION
HE City Government has a specially organized
i^ department that handles all industrial problems.
It is a public agency created for the purpose of
(^^^^^::^] promoting any movement that has for its end the
development or enlargement of Baltimore's industrial activities.
It is a department of the City Government; supported by
the City Government. There are no charges, costs nor fees
connected with its work.
Any service performed by the department or any informa-
tion given by the department is absolutely free of any financial
burden to the person who seeks its aid or takes advantage of
its co-operation.
If you want to know anything about the business possibili-
ties of Baltimore; if you want to get in touch with the City's
financial interests; if you want to know what factory sites are
in the market; in fact, if you want to know anything at all
about any phase of the industrial affairs of the City or any of
the problems incident thereto — communicate with the Municipal
Factory Site Commission, City Hall.
You will find it ready to give help in any particular or in
any direction whatsoever.
The Commission is organized on a basis that puts it in
touch with all the different business interests in Baltimore.
It is composed of a member of the Chamber of Commerce;
a member of the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association;
a member of the Travelers and Merchants' Association; a
member of the Old Town Merchants and Manufacturers'
Association; a member of the Federation of Labor; a member
of the Builders' Exchange; a member of the Real Estate
Exchange; a representative of the Pennsylvania Railroad; a
27
) TMii^ BALTIMORLEr BOOK (
representative of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad; a repre-
sentative of the Western Maryland Railroad.
The Commission has a finely-deveioped system under which
a wide range of factory sites is listed. Real estate dealers, as
well as prospective manufacturers, are constantly referring to
the Commission's list whenever they have inquiries for industrial
property.
The City itself controls about one hundred and seventy
acres of waterfront territory with direct railroad connections.
The Commission is in touch with a combination of magnifi-
cent buildings which have been converted into "beehive in-
dustrial colonies." All of the most modern appliances, power
and other manufacturing advantages are readily available on
attractive terms. These buildings are situated near the junction
of two railroads.
The Factory Site Commission will put anyone in touch with
any of the above propositions.
MUNICIPAL JOURNAL
The City is issuing a semi-monthly publication known as
the Municipal Journal. It is devoted to the exploitation
of facts about the operations of the City Government, and
through this agency the public, both at home and abroad, is
kept in intimate touch with all the plans and achievements of
the Municipal Government. It is also provided with frequent
reports of all moneys collected and how the same is being spent.
It is conducted in a manner intended to familiarize Baltimoreans
with all the most important data about their City. Its columns
are filled with exceedingly instructive matter which never finds
its way into the columns of any other publication. It lays be-
fore its readers things that are planned to be done, as well as
things that have actually been done, and has established itself
as an institution of practical value to the community, and the
community is giving it cordial support.

GOVERNMENT OF BALTIMORE
The government of Baltimore is vested in the Mayor and
City Council, the corporate entity.
The Mayor, the Comptroller and City Council are elected by
the people for a term of four years; so is also the President of
the Second Branch City Council, who acts in the Mayor's stead
when the latter is absent and who succeeds to the Mayoralty
in event of a vacancy during an unexpired term. The Mayor
appoints all heads of departments, boards, commissions, etc.,
subject to confirmation by the Second Branch.
Baltimore is divided into 24 wards and four councilmanic
districts. Each district is composed of six wards. Each ward
has a representative m the First Branch and each district has
two in the Second Branch. Including the President, there are
nine members of the latter body.
The Board of Estimates, composed of the Mayor, President
of the Second Branch City Council, Comptroller, City Solicitor
and City Engineer, is a co-ordinate body and passes on many
measures in conjunction with the City Council, particularly those
that relate to finances, granting of franchises and such.
All contracts are let by the Board of Awards, the personnel
of which is the same as the Board of Estimates, with the ex-
ception that the City Register takes the place of the City
Engineer.

PARKS OF BALTIMORE
iig'^ij^ii^^jALTIMORE has a splendid system of parks,
ijv IJfc^^^S;- These are one of the features of the City. The
r^pr^Bjl reservations are, or will be, all connected; that
'^^^^;^;Z^'- ^^' '^^^y "^^y ^^ reached one from the other by
especially constructed boulevards, the whole system being gener-
ally referred to as "Baltimore's chain of parks."
The City for years has been blessed with an abundance of
park area, but very recently large sections of the suburbs, north
and west, were acquired, which added many acres of beautiful
and picturesque territory. In making these purchases Balti-
more looked far into the future.
The topography of the country In some instances is almost
mountainous, with beautiful streams winding in and out, the
scene retaining much of its natural environment.
Druid Hill is Baltimore's largest park. It is famous, for
among the parks of the country it is unequaled in natural
beauty. It was purchased in I 860, and has an area of nearly
700 acres.
The rugged scenery of Gwynn's Falls Park, through which
flows the stream Gwynn's Falls, at times rushing like a torrent,
arises to challenge Druid Hill's claim to pre-eminent beauty.
Here nature's handiwork is sublime.
As has been stated, the scheme of park development em-
braces, as one of its important features, broad boulevards,
which represent the most advanced ideas and skill in highway
construction.
The parks play an important part in City life, and in their
administration and management are kept "abreast of the times."
Many have swimming pools, which are enjoyed by thousands,
and from which graduate each year scores of youthful expert
swimmers. There are playgrounds for the tots, and these

especial reservations are under the direction of the Playground
Association, which has professional instructors or teachers in
attendance. All the parks are supplied with baseball grounds,
tennis courts and other facilities for healthy sport.
The parks are not supported by direct taxation, but from
the receipts of the street railways, 9 per cent, of the gross
receipts being devoted to this purpose. The fund thus raised,
which is increasing yearly at the rate of 6 per cent., can not be
diverted from the parks.
This amounts to approximately $500,000 annually, which,
with other sources of revenue, brings the total available for
park purposes to $5 1 0,000 as a yearly income, exclusive of
any loan for park improvement and enlargement.

!)/H™^^K\ ^^'■y* ^^^ nature has an ally in the form of a
l(/^m^M)l t^^P^^tment of Health, which for effective work
\^^^t:^;zA- ^"^^ successful results is second to none. The
Health Department of Baltimore is regarded as a model. It
wages its warfare with thoroughly modern and scientific methods.
"Nip in the bud" is its slogan. With the combination — nature,
vigilance and science — enlisted on the side of health, pestilence
and epidemic are unknown. This is all the more gratifying
when it is recalled that Baltimore is an immigrant port. To
fight against the importation of disease there are very strict
regulations. The Quarantine Station, connected with the Health
Department, is some distance from the City, and all incoming
vessels are boarded and must be given a clean bill of health
by a medical officer representing the Municipality before they
are allowed to proceed.
Exceptional measures to combat tuberculosis are applied,
and a corps of vigilant nurses is constantly working throughout
the City with this object in view. These efforts have been
crowned with the most gratifying results. In fact, the State,
City and private organizations are rendering splendid service
in the prevention of tuberculosis. There is in operation a
Municipal hospital (Sydenham) for the treatment of infectious
diseases. Exceptionally effective laws are enforced in the in-
terest of sanitation. Inspectors pass upon edibles offered for
sale to determine whether they are fit for consumption. If not,
they are destroyed summarily. There is also a regulation which
prescribes the quality of milk that may be sold, and inspectors
with facilities for making tests are constantly at work.
A department for the treatment of rabies or hydrophobia is
connected with one of the hospitals. Nearly all cases of this
dread malady brought to this hospital are successfully treated.

swimming pools, open during the summer.
There are six indoor cleansing baths, which contain 225
cabins and accommodate 650,000 patrons annually, erected
at a cost of $200,000.
There are also five recreative swimming baths in parks and
on the riverfront, which have 250,000 patrons annually. Four
portable baths (which scheme originated in Baltimore) are
small houses carried from one street corner to another in
crowded sections. They afford hot and cold water shower
baths to over 75,000 persons yearly.
Two recreative centers in public parks are also equipped
with shower and swimming baths. The one at Patterson Park
has the largest artificial i:wimming pool m the United States.
The annual cost to the City for maintenance of the entire

FIRE DEPARTMENT
Baltimore's F ire Department has been officially declared by
experts to be one of the most thorough in the United States.
It has all known mechanical devices for fighting fires.
The high-pressure pipe line, which has been extended over
an area of 1 70 acres in the business district (completed 1912),
is the latest device and the most modern auxiliary of the fire-
fighting establishment of the City.
The pipe line system consists of three powerful pumps, which
force Vv^ater through large pipes at tremendous pressure. These
pipes are, of course, all underground, but are tapped at inter-
vals of 1 70 feet and connected with hydrants that bring the
water to the surface. The hydrants, which are depressed be-
low the sidewalk and protected by covers that can be easily
removed, are systematically placed through the "down-town"
district. There are at present 226 hydrants, and the number
will be increased as the system is extended. Water, under
great pressure, may be thrown in or against a building by
means of various nozzle devices connected directly to the
hydrants or with hose especially adapted to pipe line service.
Baltimore has spent $1,000,000 on its pipe line. Insurance
rates in the area protected by the service have been greatly
reduced.
The personnel of the Fire Department is of the highest type.
Recruits must pass an examination, mental and physical, before
entering, and the training which they subsequently receive makes
them exceptionally fit for their exacting duties.
The department consists of 40 engine companies, I 8 hook
and ladders, two fire boats, two water towers, two automobile
hose companies, automobiles for the chief, deputy and district
chiefs. The force numbers 860 men. Automobile tractors
are replacing horses at the rate of ten tractors a year.
An exclusive feature in connection with the signal system is
a portable telephone which may be connected to the fire alarm
boxes in the high pressure zone to establish communication with
headquarters. Each company carries one of these portable
telephones.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
The Police Department of Baltimore consists of 1 , 1 29 per-
sons, all told, from Commissioners down. The department,
though supported by the City of Baltimore, is under the direc-
tion of a board appointed by the Governor of the State.
The department is splendidly disciplined, and its adminis-
tration is along thoroughly modern lines. There are "traffic
officers" stationed at all points where traffic is congested. Their
duty is to "keep things moving." These officers have large
powers. They may summarily arrest any who show a dispo-
sition not to obey to the letter the very exacting traffic laws.
The officer keeps vehicles and cars "on the move" or stops
them by whistle signals. In this way the problem is solved to
the best advantage. The immovable "jam" that formerly
occurred on down-town streets is now absent. Cars, great
motor vans, automobiles and the collection of miscellaneous
vehicles that crowd the thoroughfares pass along without con-
fusion and unnecessary delay.
Aside from the traffic squad and main body of the force,
there are mounted police, motorcycle men and automobile patrol
wagons; a harbor patrol, which uses a steamer and a gasoline
launch.
Police headquarters are at the Courthouse. Here the Police
Board, the Marshal and the detectives are located.

BALTIMORE'S WIRES UNDERGROUND
In maintaining its own electrical conduit system, Baltimore
stands unique as being the first American City of importance
to provide underground accommodation for wires and cables
transmitting all classes of electrical energy.
The entire central portion of the City is served by the
Municipal system, and the work of laying extensions to the
more remote sections is progressing rapidly. Three million dol-
lars have already been invested in the plan, and during the
fall of 1912 the people of the City approved an additional
loan of $2,000,000 to be expended in a continuation of the
work.
By virtue of certain Legislative enactment, it is made manda-
tory on the part of wire-operating corporations and individuals
to remove, upon notice of the completion of the system in
various given districts, their poles and overhead wires and, in
substitution therefor, to install cables in the conduits. The
electric light and power, telephone and telegraph companies,
realizing the advantages to be derived in the way of greater
protection and more facile access to their equipment, heartily
co-operate with the City authorities in the prosecution of the
work. Furthermore, the Municipal ownership of the system
insures a uniform and reasonable rate of rental for the under-
ground space thus provided.

INDUSTRIAL ADVANTAGES OF BALTIMORE
gP"^."^ MANUFACTURER must have facilities for
assembling raw material at his plant. He must
have facilities for getting a finished product on
the market, and he must have a MARKET.
Baltimore furnishes these accessories.
First — The City has splendid railroad service in all direc-
tions. It offers transportation facilities by water that are un-
excelled. It is a great seaport, foreign and coastwise. It also
utilizes the great Chesapeake Bay and its numerous tributaries,
thus connecting with scores of towns and landings, penetrating
far into Maryland and Virginia.
Second — Baltimore is the natural feeder of its immediate
vicinity in all directions. It has at home about 700,000 persons
for whom it must provide; but it has another natural market
— that tremendous area to the South and Southwest and West.
This is Baltimore's undisputed sphere of industrial and com-
mercial influence.
Third — No Chinese Wall, in the form of excessive freight
rates, separates the manufacturer from his market. Baltimore
enjoys lower rates than other cities, as the table of comparative
rates, given elsewhere in this book, will show.
Fourth — The manufacturer in Baltimore is not harrassed by
labor troubles.
Fifth — Manufacturing implements — machinery, apparatus,
mechanical tools actually employed in the manufacture of
articles of commerce — are not taxed in Baltimore for City
purposes.
Sixth — Insurance rates on manufacturing and mercantile es-
tablishments in Baltimore are lower relatively than in other
cities.
Seventh — Power, fuel and light are cheap. Wheels turn
more economically in Baltimore than anywhere else.

BALTIMORE'S TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL
ORGANIZATIONS
The business associations of Baltimore, particularly the large
central bodies, are important elements in the City's commercial
and industrial life. There are a number of such organizations
and they exert a tremendous influence. Though they have their
respective spheres, they are bound by ties of business and social
relationship. By cohesive action and unity of purpose they
have time and again made their influence felt to the mutual
benefit of the City and the thousands who maintain business
relations with it. Through them the business interests of Balti-
more operate upon an organized and systematized basis. The
good effect is not merely local, for Baltimore is the great com-
mercial and industrial headquarters of thousands of miles of
territory.
Organization and combined force have not only helped those
who trade in Baltimore, but are largely responsible for placing
the City in the front rank of the great commercial centers of
the country.
The usefulness of these associations is not confined to the
avenues of trade. They have been aggressively active in the
many successful projects for the proper civic development of
Baltimore, and are vital forces in the City's welfare,

facturing Centre; Copper Refining; large Cotton Duck Plants;
Steel Rails; Shipbuilding Interests, etc.; cheap Light and Fuel; no
Labor Troubles.
'^'^i,^ CCORDING to the United States Census of
1910 there were, at that time, within the City
limits of Baltimore (which is 31;^ square miles
in area) 2502 manufacturing establishments,
comprising 123 specific industries, employing 9369 salaried
employees and 71,444 wage-earners, who were paid annually
$41,742,000. The annual value of their output was $186,-
978,000. The capital represented by these enterprises
amounted to $164,437,000, not including the value of rented
buildings. A reliable compilation during 1910 shows that
the Baltimore industrial district (that area contiguous to and
including the City of Baltimore) produced manufactured prod-
ucts to the value of $265,000,000 yearly. A later compila-
tion made in 1914 shows that the manufactured products of
this district had increased in value to $300,000,000. This
makes Baltimore one of the foremost industrial centers of the
United States.

LEADS IN CANNING AND PRESERVING
Baltimore ranks first among the cities of the United States in
the canning and preserving industry, which employs thousands
of workers. Its annual product is valued at millions of dollars.
MANUFACTURE OF CLOTHING
In the manufacture of clothing Baltimore occupies a leading
position. United States Census of 1910 shows that the value
of men's and women's clothmg (mcludmg shirts, overalls, etc.)
amounts annually to $41,000,000. These industries employ
24,000 persons. Most of this clothing is of the higher grades.
There are 393 establishments in Baltimore, some of them the
largest in the world.
SHIPS MOST FERTILIZER
More fertilizer is shipped from Baltimore than from the com-
bined manufacturing plants of any other State. The value of
fertilizer produced in Baltimore annually is $16,000,000.
THE GREAT STRAW HAT INDUSTRY
The straw hat industry is represented by establishments em-
ploying thousands of hands, producing millions of dollars'
worth of goods yearly.
COPPER
The copper smelting and refining works and coppersmithing
in Baltimore represent for plants an investment of $20,000,-
000. Baltimore has the largest copper refining plant in
America.
Copper exported from Baltimore during the year ending
October 31, 1913, amounted to 134,000 tons.
Baltimore's industrial activity extends to so many branches
that it is impossible to discourse specifically upon all, but the
following are some of the chief enterprises, in many of which

ELECTRIC POWER FROM THE SUSQUEHANNA
HERE has been developed for Baltimore a
tremendous source of electric energy. Across
the Susquehanna River, at McCall Ferry, is the
third longest dam in the world, exceeded only
by the dams at Keokuk, Iowa, on the Mississippi River, and at
Assouan, on the Nile. Behind this barrier, which is half a
mile long, 55 feet high and 65 feet thick, the Susquehanna
River forms a lake eight miles in length.
Their foundations resting on the bed rock of the river, the
power-house and dam contain 300,000 cubic yards of con-
crete. The power-house provides space for ten units, with a
total maximum capacity of 1 35,000 horse-power.
From McCall Ferry, in a straight line, the steel towers and
the aluminum cables of the transmission line stretch to Balti-
more, 40 miles away, where the harnessed river drives the
wheels of the City's industries and lights the homes and streets.
Independent steam generating stations, storage batteries and
an unexcelled distribution system assure adequate, efficient,
never-failing service. Baltimore offers the manufacturer cheap
electric power in abundance. The rates for electric power in
Baltimore are the lowest on the Atlantic Seaboard.
The harnessed river furnishes the power necessary to propel
the street cars of the extensive transit system of Baltimore and
its suburbs. Power from the Susquehanna moves the trains in
the Belt Line Tunnel of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
beneath the City of Baltimore, one of the earliest electrically-
operated tunnels in the world. The entire power requirements
of the Maryland Electric Railways Company, which operates
the converted steam road connecting Baltimore with Annapolis,
come from the same source.
Abundant power at low rates, with an efficient and compre-
hensive service, gives Baltimore a tremendous advantage, which
no manufacturer can afford to overlook.

NO LABOR TROUBLES
Baltimore has practically no labor troubles. After the
great fire, the City was rebuilt without one strike. Owing to
conditions that obtain in no other large community, the capitalist
and laborer maintain a status which enables them to operate to
their mutual interest, and to the benefit of the whole industrial
situation.
Baltimore seems totally unaffected by those periodic gusts of
labor agitation that sweep over one section of the country or
another, unsettling conditions, causing industrial distress and
financial loss.
The City is exceptionally fortunate in this respect, primarily
because of natural conditions. The working class is enabled to
live well. The abundance of seasonable foodstuffs at reason-
able prices, cheap rents, the opportunity to buy homes on the
easiest terms are elements which contribute to the contented
condition of the laboring man. In Baltimore he gets the most
out of life for himself and his family. The average laborer
owns his home. Tenements are practically unknown. Then
there is plenty of work and plenty of workmen.
Industrial tranquillity lasts the year round.

BALTIMORE'S FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Few cities enjoy the enviable reputation of Baltimore for
sound financial methods, or have a larger number of success-
fully conducted banks and trust companies. Baltimore is noted
for its excellent banking facilities.
There has not been a bank failure in Baltimore for many
years, and the conflagration of 1 904, which caused a loss esti-
mated at $125,000,000, resulted in no embarrassment to the
City's financial organizations, except that arising from the
destruction of buildings.
There is ample capital in Baltimore for legitimate enter-
prises. It is not a City given to the encouragement of "wildcat"
schemes, but sound projects can find substantial backing.
BONDING
The first bonding or surety company was organized in Bal-
timore. This City occupies a commanding position in this
branch of finance.
Millions of dollars are invested here in bonding enterprises.
The assets of numerous companies total millions. They have
branches practically all over the world; in fact, Baltimore is
the bonding headquarters of the world.
INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS
Baltimore has a series of modern "Industrial" or "Beehive"
buildings, where heat, light, power and space in proportion to
the large or small needs of any and all kinds of industries can
be had on terms and conditions attractive even to infant enter-
prises. This enables enterprises to be started without the usual
capital outlay required for investment in land and building. It
offers to local industries and to those outside the City, desiring
to establish operations here, every essential factory requirement
that can be obtained by the most successful manufacturers.

That Baltimore lived and thrived may be attributed to its
natural maritime advantages. It early became a distributing
point for merchandise that came over all seas and from all
lands. It sent, and still sends, back ships burdened with
products of every section of this country.
Long before steam became the propellmg force of commerce,
Baltimore's supremacy was assured. The Baltimore clipper
was famous ; it was sailing every sea and was seen in every port.
The City has a largely-developed trade in every respect,
particularly through the South. Being of the South, this seems
natural, but Baltimore is not dependent upon sentiment alone.
As the metropolis of the South, Baltimore is the natural
source of supply of this section, and its trade throughout the
vast country is large and ever-increasing. Nor is Baltimore's
sphere of commercial influence confined to the great region
south of the Mason and Dixon Line. Its merchants are invad-
ing the North. They have captured a good percentage of
trade of Pennsylvania and New York State, and are success-
fully operating in the Ohio Valley.
As a jobbing center Baltimore ranks among the foremost
cities of the United States. Its jobbing trade, comprising prin-
cipally dry goods, groceries, food products, drugs and tobacco,
represent annually $250,000,000, which, with its commission
business of $100,000,000, brings the total to $350,000,000.

THE HARBOR OF BALTIMORE
Baltimore has a splendid harbor. The channel leading from
Baltimore is 35 feet deep and 600 feet wide, and there is a
project under way to deepen it to 40 feet and to make it
1 000 feet wide.
Baltimore is on the Patapsco River, a tributary of Chesa-
peake Bay, and is about 150 nautical miles from the Atlantic
Ocean as vessels travel. The harbor may be said to begin
where the Patapsco and the bay meet, about 1 4 miles from
the center of the City.
There are 1 8 miles of dockage and waterfront within the
contracted City limits, and many times that area in the im-
mediate environs.
Baltimore harbor, even within the City limits proper, can
accommodate the largest vessels. Such, for instance, as liners
of 20,000 tons displacement or more enter and leave Balti-
more harbor. Baltimore has a busy waterfront. It is very
picturesque and is a shelter for all manner of craft, from the
ponderous Atlantic liner to the Chesapeake Bay oyster pungy.

GRAIN RAPIDLY HANDLED
Baltimore has long been justly famous for handling quanti-
ties of export grain and has largely contributed to the nation's
wealth through these facilities. Railroads had the foresight
to build the present terminal elevators, which have a capacity
of 5,000,000 bushels, and to properly equip them with dryers
to give *'out of condition" grain deserved attention. They also
established great termmal yards with facilities for rapid and
safe unloading of cars. The elevators can place 2,000,000
bushels of grain aboard vessels in a day, and this capacity will
soon be increased. Vessels are loaded while in deep water
alongside the elevators, avoiding the use of lighters and floating
elevators. The railroads have in every other way supported
the efforts of grain merchants, who, for years, have labored
to make this a favored market for domestic and export grain.
Baltimore Chamber of Commerce weighing and inspection
departments are models of their kind, giving confidence and
security at home and abroad.
Much Canadian grain comes to Baltimore for export and is
handled so satisfactorily that tonnage is constantly increasing.
On grain for export from the Great Lakes there is a differ-
ence of three-tenths of a cent per bushel in Baltimore's favor,
compared with New York and Boston. Nine-tenths is the
present difference in Baltimore's favor on grain from the West,
arriving all rail.

The railroads, Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania and West-
ern Maryland, have carfloats, large docks with warehouses,
cranes and facilities for receiving, storing and shipping all kinds
of raw material and manufactured articles. Lighterage com-
panies have a multiplicity of tugs, scows and lighters, expediting
commerce of the port.
The Baltimore and Ohio system has domestic and export
elevators, hay sheds, terminals and storage warehouses, coal
piers, and maintains general offices in Baltimore. The Balti-
more and Ohio freight yards are extensive and reach all por-
tions of the City. About 1 0,000 employees are located in
Baltimore.
The Pennsylvania Railroad system has division offices in
Baltimore and extensive terminals. The company's export and
domestic elevators, hay sheds and many terminal and storage
warehouses are of the usual high type, and a new passenger
station facilitates travel.
The Western Maryland Railway, like the other railroads
above named, has freight terminals in the business district and
storage warehouses at convenient locations. In addition, docks
and warehouses on the waterfront give it opportunities for
prompt handling of export, import and domestic shipments.
The co-operation between the Western Maryland and New
York Central lines through the extension from Cumberland to
Connellsville, and connection with the Pittsburgh and Lake
Erie Railroad, greatly benefits Baltimore, since new tonnage is

COAL AND COKE
The position Baltimore occupies in its ability to move, by
rail and water, bitummous coal from the enormous deposits
in Maryland and West Virginia gives the City a commanding
position in the soft coal trade. There are 5,000,000 tons of
coal annually exported from Baltimore.
Baltimore consumes 1 ,000,000 tons a year.
The United States Collier Neptune recently took on at one
of the coal piers 1 5,000 tons in one day.
The short haul on coke from the ovens to Baltimore and
nearness of limestone deposits make this City an ideal place for
the smelting of ore from Cuba and Spain. Steel can be manu-
factured into railroad supplies under advantageous conditions
and sent by water at low cost to home and foreign ports.

STEAMSHIP LINES
Baltimore, being one of the great ports of the Atlantic
Coast, is in constant commercial intercourse with all parts of
the world. There is a score or more lines of steamships en-
gaged regularly in foreign trade, and they are represented by
a multiplicity of vessels.
Foreign steamship lines having regular sailings from Balti-
more are:
Johnston Line, Baltimore to Liverpool.
North German Lloyd, Baltimore to Bremen.
Holland-America Line, Baltimore to Rotterdam.
Lord Line, Baltimore to Belfast, Cardiff and Dublin.
Atlantic Transport Line, Baltimore to Havre and London.
Hamburg-American Line, Baltimore to Hamburg.
United Fruit Co. Line, Baltimore to Port Antonio, Jamaica.
Red Star Line, Baltimore to Antwerp.
Furness Line, Baltimore to Leith.
Creole Line, Baltimore to Italy.
English-American Line, Baltimore to Huelva, Spain.
Scandinavian-America Line, Baltimore to Copenhagen.
United Fruit Company, Baltimore to Santo Domingo.
Atlantic Fruit Company, Baltimore to Jamaica.
Atlantic Fruit Company, Baltimore to Cuban ports.
Munson Line, Baltimore to Havana and Colon.
Earn Line, Baltimore to the West Indies.
Lanasa & Goffe Importing and Steamship Company, Balti-
more to Port Antonio, Jamaica, and Cuban ports.
Aside from the above, there are hundreds of steamships of
the "tramp" or transient class, which are constantly arriving or
leaving port ; also that rapidly vanishing class of vessels, the
"square riggers."

TH& BALTINlORLe^ BOOK
Steamships which regularly ply between Baltimore and
Atlantic Coast ports are fitted for first-class passenger service
as well as freight. Commodious steamers leave daily, going
north and south, carrying hundreds of passengers and tons of
freight.
It is estimated that 1 3,000 craft of all character sail be-
tween Baltimore and points on Chesapeake Bay and its tribu-
taries. These vessels traverse all navigable waters of Mary-
land and Virginia, touching at the larger cities and numerous
obscure landings. Bay steamers, as a rule, are large and
modern, havmg excellent passenger accommodations. The
oyster pungy, other small sailing craft and a multitude of
power boats carry much of Baltimore's Chesapeake Bay com-
merce.

LIVING CONDITIONS
Baltimore a City of Owned Homes; Reasonable Food Prices; Cheap
Rents and Fine Markets; Excellent Street Car Service; Excep-
tionally Good Climate; Oysters, Crabs and all Edibles in Abund-

mmi
I T has been stated that Bahimore is a City of
homes. It is more than this. Bahimore is a City
of OWNED homes. Houses of any class maybe
purchased upon terms that place OWNERSHIP
within reach of the most humble wage-earner.
The report of the British Board of Trade, which made an
exhaustive inquiry into the cost of living in American cities,
lends force to this statement. It says:
"House ownership among the working classes of Baltimore
has made great progress, and among American cities Baltimore
claims to take a leading place in this respect.
"In 1900, 20.5 per cent, of all private dwellings in the
City were owned unencumbered by their occupants; 7.4 per
cent, were owned, but encumbered, while 72.1 per cent, were
hired. The number of building loan societies is very large,
some 200 having meeting places in the City.
"The future owner (purchaser) must, as a rule, provide
about one-third of the proposed cost of the dwelling, and the
society advances the balance and issues shares to the same
amounts, upon which interest of 6 per cent, is charged until
they are paid up; but in the meantime the borrower is entitled
to dividends upon these shares.
"The single family dwellings enjoy an absolute predomi-
nance in Baltimore," says the report.

SUBURBS OF BALTIMORE
Well paved streets and boulevards, flanked by stately mansions
J THfz- B/\LTIlMOF^e^ BOOK (^
"In 1900 the percentage of families in dwelling-houses occu-
pied by one family was 72.6, while the percentage in dwelling-
houses occupied by two families was 20, and the percentage in
dwelling-houses occupied by three of more families v/as 7.4."
This same report goes on and describes Baltimore as a "City
of practically no tenements,'* as the tenement evil is understood
in connection with other cities, and is authority for the state-
ment, which is a well-known and established fact, that a house
in Baltimore can be rented for about one-half a similar house
in a like neighborhood can be rented for in New York.
Baltimoreans, at least, know how to live. Of the 1 15,243
private dwellings in the City, about 50 per cent, are two stories
in height, modern in every detail, and are usually very attrac-
tive. Many of the latest styles are "detached," have orna-
mental bay windows, and each, by law, must be provided with
a bathtub and the best sanitary appliances.
A real home in Baltimore is within reach of all. And this
home is on a good street, in a respectable neighborhood. Balti-
moreans are not stowed away in the uppermost stories of un-
healthy, insanitary tenement houses, with dubious and doubtful
associates under the same roof, and in an atmosphere of social,
physical and moral impurity.
Baltimore has many stately mansions amid the environment
of wealth and dignity, which are very impressive, but the thou-
sands of small dwellings, sheltering thousands of contented
families, each dweller in his or her own "castle," offer , a
splendid object-lesson.
The excellent system of street car lines enables a person to
reach any part of Baltimore for a 5 -cent fare, which also in-
cludes one free transfer. This is a great boon to the wage-
earner who desires to live in the open, away from the office,
factory and workshop.

BALTIMORE MARKETS
Three views of Lexington market, possibly the most famous in the country
THCr BALTIMORLE^ BOOFx
BALTIMORE MARKETS
The habit of "going to market" is so fixed a custom, and so
generally practiced as a part of the domestic routine by the
Baltimore housekeeper, that markets are supported and flourish
as they do nowhere else. Moreover, the markets, on market
days, are one of the sights of the City. Few strangers come to
Baltimore who do not join the picturesque throng at one of
these centers. To see these markets in "full blast" is indeed in-
teresting. Not only the markets themselves, but all approaches
for squares take on the market environment. Along the streets
are hundreds of wagons, converted into stalls, and scores of
improvised shops line the curb; the flower girl, the ubiquitous
faker, the country folk, the thrifty housewife, making her dis-
criminating purchases, is a spectacle well worth witnessing.
Lexington Market is the most noted and is, possibly, without
a serious rival in the country. It is very central, being con-
tiguous to, in fact within, the retail shopping district. It is
three squares long, but the market's "sphere of influence" ex-
tends for squares in all directions.
All markets are owned and under the control of the Mu-
nicipality.
Centre Market, built after the fire of February, 1 904, on the
site of Marsh Market, which was destroyed, is a splendid mod-
ern structure. It cost $500,650 and extends from Baltimore to
Pratt street, three blocks. There are two great halls over the
northern (Baltimore street) end, which are used by the night
classes of the Maryland Institute. Twelve hundred pupils may
be comfortably accommodated here. There is also another large
hall above the produce section, which will seat 2500 persons.
The wholesale and retail fish market, connected with the Centre,
has been pronounced the most complete in the world.
The Baltimore markets are: Belair, Canton, Centre, Cross
Street, Fells Point, Hanover, Hollins, Lafayette, Lexington,
Northeast, Richmond.

BALTIMORE'S FOOD SUPPLY
Produce and Fish Markets
THCr B/XLTlMORie^ BOOK
A NOTED FOOD SUPPLY CENTER
ll^wiiiiii^j^: ALTIMORE'^ markets are a success because
"DJ^Mt'^^Sx °^ ^^^ great variety and character of the food-
ll/^f&^)l stuffs on sale. The investigators for the British
lli=^^==^^"r^:j Board of Trade, who recently made a study of
living conditions in American cities, were struck by this ad-
vantage, and in their report said:
"Baltimore is a noted food supply center — -fruits, vegetables,
dairy products, poultry and meat are produced in the fertile
districts of the State of Maryland, and the shores of the Chesa-
peake are especially favorable for those branches of agriculture.
The City is remarkable among the large cities of the United
States for the abundance and varied character of its retail
markets. In the principal districts of the City are covered
markets, where all kinds of meat, vegetables, fruit, butter and
eggs are on sale."
The report also refers to the extensive patronage enjoyed
by the markets, and the great number of butcher stalls receive
particular mention.
Baltimore is singularly fortunate as lo food supply, as the
British report says. Things regarded as luxuries elsewhere are
here matters of every-day commonplace diet. The City being
situated within two hours' ride of the mountains, and at the very
door of a great trucking region (the adjacent counties of Mary-
land), has a wonderful advantage. The great Chesapeake Bay
and the Patapsco River yield up an enormous supply of crabs,
oysters and fish. Several lines of steamers bring tropical fruits in
abundance. Maryland is the home of the terrapin and the
canvas-back, and Baltimore is the gastronomic center, where
these delicacies are prepared and where they are consumed in
large quantities.
Baltimore offers the best of foodstuffs in abundance; its
markets bulge with the products of the season ; reasonable prices
make it possible for those of limited income to enjoy the benefits
of these exceptional advantages, facts that contribute to Balti-
more's reputation as an exceptionally desirable place of residence.

Theatres; Hotels; Churches; Monuments; Climate; Points of In-
terest; Chronological History from 1603 to 1913.
§S^^\?S VERY unique situation is presented in connection
with the enumeration of the population of Balti-
more. According to the United States Census
Report for 191 0, its population within the City
[imits was then 558,485; while its population, including those
persons who reside just beyond the City limits, was 647,884.
This condition was of sufficient import to call from Director
Durand of the Census a special report (August, 1911). In
this he referred to the distinction to be made in favor of Balti-
more when comparing the population of cities. The numerical
peculiarity concerning Baltimore's population arises from the
fact that its corporate limits have not been extended corre-
spondingly as the City's inhabitants have multiplied.
The census reports show that Baltimore has actually grown
apace, and is the most densely populated City in the country,
but that thousands of Baltimoreans who live "just over the line"
are not listed as residents. At the same time they are not
divided from the corporate limits by squares of unimproved lots,
but live on well-paved streets, in "built-up" sections which, in
some instances, extend a mile beyond the present limits.
Thus, according to the census of 1910, about 90,000 per-
sons (since greatly increased in numbers) outside the technical
bounds are so essentially a part of Baltimore in their business
and social relations that they should be included when a com-
parison of cities is made.
Baltimore has 31 ^3 square miles within its contracted limits,
and its population within these bounds is, according to the
census, 558,485. St. Louis, with 6\ Vs square miles, twice
the area of Baltimore, has a population of 687,029.
St. Louis ranks fourth, but Baltimore would no doubt arise
to dispute that claim if its area were doubled.

BALTIMORE'S EXCELLENT CLIMATE
Baltimore has an excellent climate. The City is so situated
that it does not experience the extremes of weather. It is free
from the rigors of the North and yet it is not inflicted with the
continued enervating heat of the South. The changing seasons
are one of the delights of the locality. There is no monotony;
no prolonged hot, dry spell to face in summer, and no long,
dreary, severe winter, with its accompanying hardships. The
winters are short, being relieved by beautiful spring and fall
conditions. The rainfall is well distributed throughout the
year and destructive storms are practically unknown.
Baltimore is, likewise, free from all other elemental disturb-
ances, which, in some sections, are a source of constant unrest,
if not actual peril.
AMPLE HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS
Baltimore has splendid hotels. In this respect it is abreast
of any city of the country of its size, and far ahead of the
majority.
Just at present it is better equipped than ever, owing to the
recent establishment of several large hotels. These are great
institutions, designed on a large scale, built on a large scale,
and operated in accordance with advanced ideas and methods.
There are scores of hotels, so the visitor will have no diffi-
culty finding accommodations at reasonable rates.
Baltimore as a "Convention City" has entertained thousands
of visitors without inconvenience to guests, and it is now better
prepared than ever to assume this agreeable responsibility.

Any man may have his little power or sail boat, which at
once extends his suzerainty, not only over the Patapsco River,
but the great Chesapeake Bay. Elere he may disport himself
at will. Baltimore offers a great opportunity to the man with
a boat. A race on the Patapsco, between the trained crews
of rival clubs, is a sight never to be forgotten.
The pleasure seeker, who disdains the lure of salt water and
the thrills of the nibble, has a splendid collection of theatres,
including grand opera, for Baltimore boasts of first-class, whole-
some amusement features, where the cream of the passing show
may be seen. The City's theatres are all modern and com-
modious, and public taste demands and receives the best that
the stage has to offer.

BALTIMORE HISTORY
1608-1913
To begin at the very beginning of direct historical informa-
tion concerning Baltimore, one must go back to the year 1 608.
June 2ncl, 1 608, Capt. John Smith, whose life is reputed to
have been saved by Pocahontas, having settled Jamestown,
started from the vicinity of Cape Henry, on the first of his
two famous explorations of the Chesapeake Bay. During this
expedition, which lasted nineteen days, he visited every inlet
on both sides of the Bay, from the Capes to the Patapsco
River (named by Smith, Bolus), sailed up that stream, and
from him we get the first information concerning the region,
now Baltimore. Smith and his followers were, therefore, the
first white men to set eyes on the present site of the City. There
is no question about Smith's visit to this locality. He prepared
an excellent map of the Chesapeake and its tributaries. The
Patapsco River, then, of course, unnamed, he called "Bolus,"
because of the red clay resembling "bole armoniack" along its
banks. The red clay, or "bole," was a covering for deposits
of iron ore, afterward discovered and mined. The first of
these mines was owned and worked by John Moale, at Moale's
Point, along Spring Gardens. Smith's map indicates quite an
extensive knowledge of the topography of this section. He went
up the "Bolus" for a considerable distance. On his voyage
he had fourteen companions and used a barge, of between
two and three tons, propelled by sail and oar. He had excit-
ing and interesting experiences with Indians.
Following Captain Smith's explorations in this vicinity, there
is a lapse of years before the thread of the narrative can be
taken up by the historian.
In the absence of proof to the contrary it must be assumed
that Indians roamed over the site of Baltimore at will, or at

Following a strike on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, on the 16th,
noting occurred, and on the 18th troops were sent to Martins-
burg — the President having issued a warning proclamation to the
rioters. This was succeeded by strikes and riots on most of the
leading railroads in the United Slates, accompanied by immense
destruction of railroad property and freight. The riots were
quelled by troops with considerable loss of life. On the 20th a
